Indie-rockers Speedy Ortiz (above) virtually swept the 2015 Boston Music Awards, taking home table-radio trophies for Artist of the Year, Album/EP of the Year (Foil Deer) and Song of the Year (“Raising the Skate”). Speedy also won for Best Charitable Effort for their work with Girls Rock Camp Foundation, coming to Wednesday’s ceremony from a Girls Rock benefit show at the Middle East.
